New Rules Require Schools to Segregate Sex Ed Classes Based on “Gender Identity”
August 9, 2023 | New Jersey
(The Center Square) — New Jersey leaders are criticizing the state’s plans to adopt a new “equity” policy to govern how public schools teach sexual education.
The New Jersey Board of Education last week approved new rules that will require schools to segregate sex education classes based on “gender identity” instead of sex, expand the number of protected classes the regulations shield, adopt gender-neutral language and eliminate references to both sexes, among other changes. The measure narrowly passed on a 6-5 vote.
But members of the Senate’s GOP minority are pressuring the board to roll back the regulations, pledging to file legislation to block the new curriculum from going into effect. (Excerpt from Just the News.)
